Subaru Brake Service FAQ
1. How do I know if my Subaru needs new brakes?
Common signs include squealing, grinding, shaking, a soft brake pedal, or increased stopping distance. A brake inspection catches issues early.

Absolutely—our shop services all brands, including luxury, domestic, imports, EVs, and commercial fleets.
What we do
Complete Brake Service & More…
A disc brake is a type of brake that uses calipers to squeeze pairs of pads against a disc in order to create friction that slows the rotation of the wheel(s)….more
The main components of a disc brake are:
- the brake pads
- the caliper, which contains a piston,
- the rotor, which is mounted to the hub
The drum brake may look complicated, and it can be pretty intimidating when you open one up. Let’s break it down and explain what each piece does.
Like the disc brake, the drum brake has two brake shoes and a piston. But the drum brake also has an adjuster mechanism, an emergency brake mechanism and lots of springs…more
Brake fluid is possibly the single most neglected component of the automobile.
Most high performance drivers check their tire pressures and change their engine oil at frequent intervals, but virtually no one ever changes the brake fluid in their street car.
Brake fluid will not be able to handle the heat when it is contaminated…more
Most vehicles come standard with ABS and some level of traction control, while others include optional stability and roll-over mitigation systems.
Failing to properly repair these systems can put the driver at risk, especially in vehicles with a high center of gravity.
If the ABS light is on, request diagnostic time to identify and resolve the issue…more
